I feel you. Fighting with burnout for nearly a year now, took many weeks off because of that (and I'm younger than you!). I still mostly enjoy coding privately but not the things I do at work. Everything has to be done "yesterday", management doesn't care about thousands of bugs, every week new features, customer asks, management says yes, needs to be done in a week or two. Daily standups lasting 45-60 minutes, a lot of time wasted in pointless meetings. I'm only doing React Native (TypeScript) currently and this whole thing is such a mess. Did other projects in Java before that which I enjoyed a lot more. I'm feeling like I'm forgetting everything and my brain only knows JavaScript now. Finding a new job is next to impossible or full of red flags.

First thing you should do: Take time off. Like 2-4 weeks. Talk to your doctor. Don't get a bad feeling because you are "doing nothing" or because "your colleagues have to do everything". No one cares about that, trust me. Do something completely different in this time, like talking daily walks.

And don't worry about AI, it won't take your job. Not in Europe ;).
